Epoxy Flooring in Parkville, MO

Parkville is a hilly town on the Missouri River, and the slope of the land shapes a lot of the epoxy flooring work we do there. Many homes sit on sloped lots. That often means walkout basements, garages tucked under the house and driveways that run downhill to the door. Each of those affects how water and dirt reach the floor.

A town with deep roots

Parkville was platted in 1844 and incorporated in 1858. George S. Park founded the town and Park University, which has been in Parkville since 1875. The historic downtown is known for antique shops and galleries. Today the city also includes newer neighborhoods such as Riss Lake, The National, Thousand Oaks, Creekside, River Hills, Riverchase and The Bluffs. The 2020 census counted 7,117 residents on about 15.6 square miles.

Garages on a slope

On a downhill driveway, rain and meltwater run toward the garage door. Grit comes with it. The first few feet inside the door take the most wear. Common signs we see:

• Pitting or flaking in a strip just inside the door
• Dried water lines and white residue near the threshold
• A low corner where water always sits
• Cracks running out from the corners of the slab

We grind the whole floor, repair cracks and fill low spots before coating. A flake floor with a textured topcoat gives better grip on a wet slab, which matters when the floor tilts toward the door.

Walkout and finished basements

A walkout basement is part below ground and part open to the yard. The buried side can be cooler and damper than the open side. That can change how the slab takes a coating, so we test moisture in more than one spot. Parkville owners often finish these spaces as gyms, game rooms or guest areas. For those, we install basement floor epoxy in a solid color or a fine flake that looks clean and is easy to mop.

Larger homes, larger garages

The 2020 census shows 67.1% of Parkville households were married couples, and the median household income listed for the city is $144,127. Many homes in the newer subdivisions have three-car garages. A big garage is a good fit for a polyaspartic topcoat. It cures fast, so the job can often be finished in one or two days. It also holds its color in sunlight when the door is open. We help you pick a flake blend that goes with the house.

If your neighborhood has an association, it may have rules about work hours or trailers on the street. We can work within them. Floor coating is interior work, so it rarely needs approval, but check if you are unsure.

Downtown buildings

The older commercial buildings downtown may have slabs that were patched or covered over many times. For shop, storage and back-of-house floors, we start with crack and floor repair, then put down a commercial epoxy system sized for the traffic.

After the coating cures

A coated garage floor is easy to care for. Sweep or blow out grit, since sand is what dulls a topcoat over time. Rinse off winter slush and deicer when the weather warms. Use a soft mop and a mild cleaner for spills. Put a mat or a pad under kickstands and jack stands to spread the load. If a heavy tool drops and chips the surface, we can patch the spot so water cannot get under the edge.
